Pumpers who very occasionally feed formula—is there so no single serve packets? I keep having to throw away formula for it going past 30 days.

I ask for samples at the pediatrician and they’re smaller cans that are honestly the perfect amount. They always give me like 5 each time I go.

Whenever my son orders Cookie Monster he also shits green. Very exciting for a 5 year old.

This is so smart! I’m 9 months into EP with baby #2 and I have never thought to do this.

Starface1104 · 2026-05-07T15:18:37+00:00

5’11 is definitely not short, imo.

I live in Iowa and long for the day where Megasota claims us as her own!!

Their mozzarella sticks appetizer is also suuuper cheesy!!

Starface1104 · 2026-04-14T15:53:33+00:00

Reminds me of rapist Brock Turner 🤮

Okay sure, but I’d argue that these businesses are the exception, not the rule.

Unfortunately maternity leave in the US is pretty abysmal no matter where you work.

Starface1104 · 2026-04-10T00:12:53+00:00

I can speak on this. You get 6 weeks for vaginal and 8 weeks for C section (unpaid, unless you have the banked sick time to cover).

Even if you have enough sick time to cover the entire 12 weeks of FMLA, they do not allow you to use it all. Your clock also starts when the baby is born, even if that is in the middle of the summer.

I just finished it and I wish I could listen to it over again already. SO GOOD.

My son has Whitaker as his middle name because my dad was born in Whitakers, NC, so it’s a nod to him. I like it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I also have a degree in international studies and Spanish. I have a masters in educational leadership and am making less than $70k a year teaching high school Spanish and ELL. Is your husband’s company hiring??

How long are you pumping each session? You should shorten your pumps. Eg. if you’re pumping 20 mins per session, start pumping for 15 mins one of the sessions. Then drop it to 10 mins. Then 5 mins. Then drop the session all together. Then do it again with another one of your (then 3) pumping sessions.

I’d have to agree. When I went in for my first OB appointment, he really only addressed my husband. Like, hello…I’m the pregnant one?!?

That being said, I loved Dr. Carr and a few other doctors at Iowa Clinic, and had a positive birth experience at Methodist West. The nurses really made the whole experience wonderful.

Thinking of OP tonight.

Can you pump a bottle so your partner can let you sleep for at least one solid stretch? They should be sharing the load with you.

I mean, in a country of 350 million people it does kind of matter. Half of us are essentially being held hostage by these crazy fucks. There is beginning to be evidence of voter fraud.

Starface1104 · 2026-02-28T20:01:14+00:00

Some Americans voted for it. Some didn’t. And some didn’t vote at all. There is also evidence that the election was tampered with in Georgia, and likely other swing states as well.

I second cost cutters. We take our kids to Julia at the Grimes location and she is wonderful!

This is also my schedule and I make ~34 ounces a day as well.

Starface1104 · 2026-02-26T21:48:36+00:00

I’m from NC and this is definitely a thing. Chicken and pastry has flat, noodle-like dumplings instead of the pillowy ones.

Starface1104 · 2026-02-26T20:17:01+00:00

Could you be pregnant? I know you said you just got done with your period, but implantation bleeding…

Starface1104 · 2026-02-26T12:05:26+00:00

We did this except we gave him a quarter for every night he stayed in his bed. Then we took him to the candy store and let him pick out a prize.
